Vic Toews launched yet another Twitter attack against Liberal MP Justin Trudeau today, accusing him of orchestrating the embarrassing Vikileaks Twitter account after it was revealed the account’s creator was once again working for the Liberal Party.

Adam Carroll handed in his resignation earlier this year after he was outed as the mastermind behind the Twitter account, which published lurid details of the Conservative cabinet minister’s messy divorce in response to the Harper government’s Internet snooping bill.

Upon learning Carroll was working for the Liberals again, Toews tweeted: I see [Adam Carroll] is back at #LPC after crocodile tear apology from [Bob Rae]. [Justin Trudeau] & #LPC must come clean on who knew what.”

I see @adamgcarroll is back at #LPC after crocodile tear apology from @bobraemp. @justinpjtrudeau & #LPC must come clean on who knew what — Vic Toews (@ToewsVic) August 2, 2012

While I am on the topic, when will @bobraemp and the #LPC repay the inappropriate use of HoC resources?Blatant disrespect for taxpayer $$$ — Vic Toews (@ToewsVic) August 2, 2012

An investigation by the Ottawa Citizen into who started the Twitter account led them to a House of Commons IP address, a revelation that initially prompted Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird to initially blame the NDP for the account. He later apologized.

In February, after Rae apologized in the House of Commons for Carroll’s conduct, Toews took to Twitter to accuse Trudeau of knowing too much about the account to be an “innocent bystander” and keeping silent on Carroll’s identity.

Trudeau had participated in a Twitter campaign entitled #TellVicEverything that followed the emergence of Vikileaks30 and saw Twitter users post random information about their activities. Trudeau conceded he tweeted about Vikileaks but said he never endorsed it.

Toew’s office accused the Liberals of knowing all along that Carroll was behind Vikileaks.

“This dramatic reversal by the Liberal party suggests that Carroll acted with the full knowledge and consent of the senior ranks of the Liberal party,” Toews spokesman Mike Mueller said in an email.

“It’s clear now more than ever that Mr. Carroll did not act alone, as he claimed.”

Mueller also called on those who are contemplating a run for the Liberal leadership to disclose what, if anything, they knew about Carroll’s role in the Vikileaks episode.

“Justin Trudeau and all Liberal leadership candidates must come clean immediately,” he said. “Who knew about the sleazy Internet smear? What deal was struck with Adam Carroll to take the fall? Will they continue engaging in sleazy tricks and only apologize when they get caught?”

Carroll told a parliamentary committee this spring that he set up the Twitter account in direct response to the Conservative government’s online surveillance legislation. He also insisted that he acted alone.
